Hands-on review of the Seiko x Street Fighter V Chun Li and Ryu watch 😍
I show you how they look like on the wrist, the story behind the design and whether or not Seiko has managed to pull this on off!
I don't know about you, but I could not be happier with this collaboration! To me, that is the best of both worlds - video games and watches! I knew right away that I was going to get the Chun Li watch, not only because it looks AMAZING but also because she was my go-to character whenever I played Street Fighter (duh!).
Little FYI: This is not sponsored by Seiko or Street Fighter (I wish, lol). I bought these watches with my own money.
0:00 Intro
01:51 Ryu
06:04 Chun Li
Let me know in the comments what you think about collaborations like that in general! I can't wait to see more!
As always, thank you for watch my videos and spending some time with me here on RU-vid :-) Seeing you guys comment, like and subscribe really means a lot to me!
Jenni ❤️

I like it when they make fun watches, you can't be serious 100% of the time and these would be an awesome wear out on a fun night. Plus they may get non-watch people into the hobby so they're all good in my book.

Love the hair and outfit BTW you really made it fun.

@TrNdke 3 года назад

Great review and I loved the backstory about your interest in these themed watches! Some of my favorite childhood memories are of playing video games with my brother. We live on opposite sides of the country now, and playing games online together lets us stay in touch and share a favorite hobby even though we can't be shoulder to shoulder on the same couch anymore. This watch would make a great gift for him. 😊

Just seeing your face light up when you are about to review the Chun Li watch is worth the viewing of this video XD You did change my mind of the Chun Li edition, I wasn't sold on its design at first, but the review on the details made me appreciate it more. I love the Ryu watch, and I dig how simplistic it's design is, along with the texture of the dial and the strap. If the world wasn't in shambles right now and things were better on my end, I'd buy it asap.

@gaylemcgee2221 3 года назад

Finally, watches I can afford on your channe!!! I thought Seiko was going to put full characters on these watches. I'm glad they're more sedated! You went full out on the 'BLUE' theme, didn't you? The watches were done very well and the texture on the white dial is beautiful. The blue watch is more my style with the Roman numerals and decorations. It looks huge on your wrist but it truly works! I hope you enjoy your watch for many years to come. Thanks for the video, Gayle or Gell. That's what my friends called me in Germany.

@MVK_GS 3 года назад

One of your coolest videos, Jenni. Edited to add that the Ryu watch does a great job of capturing the theme, particularly with regards to the material of his keogi ("gi"). All my karatedo "gi" were from a company called Shureido and the fabric was very similar - up close - to the effect on the dial.

Great wee little nod to Chun Li, so fitting for this video without being too in your face. I'd love to see Cloud Strife and Squall Lionheart inspired collaboration with Seiko.

@shonen84 3 года назад

Wonderful video! The macro shots really make these fun watches pop. I also have the Chun Li watch, she is my favorite character. When I was a kid, I always picked her to piss off my friends. They tried all their tricks, but I just spammed lightning kicks and kicked their butts XD. I agree that the band is stiff - other than that, I’ve found the watch surprisingly useful. I use the numbered bezel as a sort of GMT/Dual Time/timer indicator - and in day to day use, the blue isn’t as flashy and has a denim appearance. I’ve gotten quite a lot of compliments, and friends and colleagues who I didn’t know were gamers/watch fans, immediately spotted it. And as an added bonus, the 4R36 has been keeping amazing time: +2/d!! Puts my 6R Seikos to shame and even rivals my Omega Planet Ocean 8500. Enjoy yours, I’m very happy with mine!!

@tomrutter1637 3 года назад

I think these watches are good for horology. These are "gateway" watches. Appealing to non-watch lovers. Anything to bring more mechanical watch people into the hobby is a good thing. Just like the Brian May and Roberto Clemente "limited" editions some may sneer at large volume runs. But again these are for the non-watch crowd. Anything to slow the tide of the smartwatch flood.

@beastjr7423 3 года назад

Smart watches are sometimes also gateway watches :) I don’t think a lot of non watch lovers are going to pay $500 for a watch but that’s just my opinion

@RonTimmonsM1 2 года назад

Limited edition is inviting knowing it's numbered. If you had a full set with all matching numbers... That combination would be interesting to me. I think these are great. I wear a Rolex most of the time but would happily wear these. I think they are cool. If you look at the other brands, Ball and so many others who use the limited run, it's a successful marketing tool for them to sell watches. Who knows maybe they will become worth more if someone collects the full set in 29 years or something... I don't think watches will ever disappear but they certainly will dwindle into a different class. I think they will become more of an accessory of luxury than necessity for functionality. Those people will wear apple watch etc...

@SuperHeliboy 3 года назад

When I first heard about this I rolled my eyes. However when I looked them over I have to admit that Seiko kinda knocked it out of the park. I don't think that any other watch company could pull it off. It is a fun yet subtle take on two Asian theme cultural icons. My hope is that the quality will stand out and that all parties take the artistic endeavor serious or I believe it will fall flat. What fan wouldn't want to collect the whole series?

Hi Jenni, as you said in the video, the new watch straps are very stiff and uncomfortable. You can solve this problem by bending the straps a few times or as many times as you like, until the straps turn into rounder shape that fits your wrist. This is what I do when I got a new straps. Hope you can enjoy your new Chun Li watch. Thanks a lot for all the great videos you made.
